B – side of babooshka single
written by kate bush

Bm Em
where is she

Am
when the little thing cries?

D Bm
she lies in a bed

Em
with a friend of mine .

Bm Em
but some nights

Am
she’ll run back in fright

D Bm
if she picks on a dick

Em
that’s too big for her pride .

Am Bm
oh! oh!

C Em Am
why did i ever go marry her?

Bm Em
i was a child!

G Dm
i’m holding the baby ,

G Dm
she’s ran – tanning constantly .

C Bm Em
she saw me coming for miles .

C Bm Em
she saw me open wide .

( repeat verse )
four o’clock
and the key’s in the lock .
and she’s been on the wink
and she’s stinking of drink .
wakes the kid ,
so i put him to sleep ,
and she’s in there all night ,
doubled over the sink .

oh! oh!
why did i ever go marry her?
i was a child!
i’m holding the baby ,
she’s ran – tanning constantly .

C Bm Em
she saw me coming for miles .

C Bm Em
she saw me open wide .

C Bm Em
open wide .
